Now celebrity collaborations come and go faster than fashion trends. But for 30 years now, the International Network of Agencies for Health Technology Assessment, or INAHTA, has been a rock solid team of global members. This network united in 1993, in the charming city of Paris. A no small feat, given its unofficial, voluntary contributions from the member's bodies. But INAHTA didn't just survive, it grew and thrived, becoming a leading force in its field.

An INAHTA meeting in Paris is like a reunion. Present and past heads and secretaries of the network gathered and mapped out its success. How did they manage to keep going strong? Was it the friendly climate of Paris? Or the diversity of the global bodies?

They went back to the drawing board. They explored what worked, what didn't, and where the problems were found. These challenges were not ignored but seen as key factors for their success.

Harry Boehm, a fictional former leader of INAHTA, joked that these challenges are like online games, the tougher they are, the more one is pushed to find new solutions.

The world of health tech assessment is always changing. The introduction of new regions into this field is no secret. Will INAHTA's future face its own problems? INAHTA then shared what it has learned so far. Readers can then compare for themselves whether the network's journey

can help other similar organizations.

Think about it.  If you were at a summer camp with friends. Lots of plans and fun. But what do you do when team camps have to face problems?

Does INAHTA 's journey in global health tech field teach us something? However, the statement does not say exactly what the challenges or the solutions are or what the future will look like. Since the focus here is on the day-to-day talk about the importance of unity in the face of global health challenges.

Through the highs and lows, the network has managed to survive and thrive through the years.

They also pointed out how different the current health tech assessment is compared to last 15 years. In simple terms, the global health innovation and adaptation have grown the INAHTA  network.

A teeming example of shared expertise and evidence-based decision-making.

But ultimately, for all it's worth, readers might still wonder; Is this a perfect ending?

Not quite. This is just the beginning.
